I do read chat.  Thanks for your reply.

I am sorry Terry.  I haven't really figured out a good working method to 
stop spam that doesn't involve a 24 hour arms race on my part.  I have a 
script that culls /24 nets from confirmed spam (a la SpamAssasin, RBLs and 
human review) and adds them to my deny list automagically.  I knew the 
possibility existed that someone might get caught whom I didn't want to get 
caught.  You are the first after using this script for a few months.  Back 
to the drawing board.

I determined your server's IP out of the other message and fixed my stuff. 
I stuck your server in my whitelist.  At least this will keep you from 
getting nasty-grammed.  It's not a good solution for the logn term.

I thought Earthlink cleaned up their act.  They even have TV commercials to 
that effect.
